LAD 17

Carnegie starts his rant by tackling the question of dividing money. He speaks about the gap between the rich and the poor, and how it is a new part of society. He says that money can be used in the following three ways: given to descendants after death, given for public use after death, or spent in one's lifetime. He thinks that it is better to spend your money on things for the good of the public while you are living; why make people wait for you to die? Finally, he ends his schpeal by speaking about spreading money, not equally; he is a true philanthropist.
